Is this the first step in getting companies to manage the full lifecycle of their products? I've long believed that companies should be required to take back every product they produce and deal with the waste themselves - they're now motivated to do this, partially at least, due to resource shortages.

It would be an interesting way to drive a final stake into the heart of brick and mortar retail; if everything is shipped FROM China for nearly free but shipping TO China costs $25/pound then very rapidly the only way to buy anything will be AliExpress. Remember, "take back" doesn't mean much. Accepts postal delivery? We already have infrastructure for that.
